Psalm 103

Thanksgiving for God’s Goodness

Of David.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name.(A)
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and do not forget all his benefits—
who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,(B)
who redeems your life from the Pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,(C)
who satisfies you with good as long as you live[a]
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works vindication
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
    his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.(D)
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he keep his anger forever.(E)
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.(F)
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;(G)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far he removes our transgressions from us.(H)

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(U) for those who fear him;(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(W) from us.
